Default Blackline Speedo?
You guys think I could buy this mount and just swap my speedo and indicator lights over to it?? I wanna make a custom dash and I'd really like to remove anything I can from the top of the tank.

What I'd really like to do is get a dakota digital speedo/tach combo in a much smaller form but those things are ridiculously expensive.

So for you guys who have the blackline, does your speedo mount look like it could be swapped over to about any other fxs__?

Believe the unit on the Blackline is much smaller than your stock one. That's from memory of seeing one at the dealer a couple months back tho......

Here are you a couple pictures of the speedo, The one thing that you will have to check on is that the trip button on the left control goes between miles, tach, trip a, trip b, and miles left in tank. which is all done through the ECM. It mounts flat to the triple. Hope these help

If you gotta have the speedo, make a mount off the top of the rocker box.....

Not only that, but the 2011 Softails use the new HDLAN system. That's probably going to be a deal-breaker.
